So as you get a new task, make sure that you don’t visit these sites and the chances of you getting distracted decrease to a great extent.

Most of the times, we tend to get afraid by the huge size of task and begin to worry as to how we will complete it within the deadline. The best way to get rid of this fear is to divide your task into parts or phases and finish it phase by phase. Do keep a deadline for every phase so that you finish them in time. In this manner, it will become easy to work on the task and it will remove the fear as well.

You need to have a disciplined approach towards work and the environment of your workplace should be distraction free. Keep yourself away from family, friends, television or music while working so that you can focus on your work and your mind doesn’t get diverted. You may choose your environment for work as per your requirement and convenience but do keep a disciplined approach.
